5 Policies your business needs

Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment Policy & Procedure

Workplace bullying and harassment can be a huge risk to the health and safety of employees and can have lasting effects on their mental and physical health. Every business has an obligation under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to ensure the health and safety of employees in the workplace The act also prohibits any person within a business from engaging in workplace discrimination of any kind. Failure to comply may mean severe penalties and the employer can be held vicariously liable

Disciplinary and Termination Policy & Procedure

This policy has clear guidelines for disciplinary procedures and terminations, ensuring fairness and consistency in handling misconduct and performance issues Fair Work has clear expectations that all actions leading to terminations must be fair and this includes being transparent in the procedure the organisation will follow and the actions that may lead to disciplinary action and termination.

An effective grievance and complaints policy provides employees with a formal mechanism for raising concerns or complaints related to their work environment, conditions or treatment. It ensures that grievances are addressed promptly, impartially and confidentially, fostering trust and transparency within the organisation. It is an employees right to raise a grievance and also know that they will not be targeted due to raising a concern. If a claim arises that they believe something is not fair, showing this policy is a great way to show your commitment to taking grievances and complaints seriously.

Code of Conduct

A Code of Conduct serves as a roadmap for ethical behaviour and professional standards expected of all employees. It outlines principles, values, and guidelines that government interactions within the workplace, as well as with clients, customers and stakeholders.

How can i find my dream team member:

We often ask the question “How do you currently recruit?” 9 out of 10 times, we always get the same answer - “I chuck an ad up on Seek”. Now don’t get me wrong - Seek is a great resource. But it is like the equivalent to throwing a net out to sea and hoping you catch the right fish. Sometimes you do, but most of the time, you don’t! The best piece of advice I have ever received with recruitment is before you ‘place that ad’have a planning session. Ask yourself the following questions?

1- Who are we looking for? Do we know someone we want or are they currently working for us?

2. Do we have a position description? Does it need to be updated?

3 - What is the most effective way to find this person? 4 - What is our EVP? Why would they come to us?

5 - How will we assess the candidate and ensure they tick all the boxes? If you are looking for a trade’s person - Don’t just rely on a well written resume - as maybe resumes are not their strong point - using their hands is!

Effective recruitment is one of the most important parts of your business. If you can sort your recruitment out and hire the right person, 99% of issues won’t occur. Need help? Please reach out to us.

Think about where your candidate “hangs out”

“School based traineeships changed our entire business model from the beginning”

My tips for working with Generational Alpha is:

Make it fun! They learn so much better when they are playing and don’t realise they are learning!

Get down to their level - This is similar to the make it fun principle We will do team building activities at Bundy Bowl or hire a room at a motel that has a pool so we can learn then go swimming!

Train with food - They tends to listen much better when there is food in front of them!

Be honest and transparent in all conversations Don’t make promises you can’t keep
